title: Cholesterol granuloma associated with otitis media and leptomeningitis in a cat due to a Streptococcus canis infection.
abstract: Cholesterol granuloma in the middle ear is a pathological condition often associated with otitis media in humans. Cholesterol granulomas in cats are rarely described. To our knowledge, this is the first report of middle ear cholesterol granuloma in a cat, associated with otitis media and leptomeningitis due to a Streptococcus canis septicemia.
